Notes on the 1972 Summer Study Program in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Volume I.

Abstract

Contents: The Boussinesq approximation; small amplitude internal gravity waves; wave-wave interaction; the effects of stratification on rotating critical flow; experiments in stratified fluids; double-diffusive convection; classification of mixing mechanisms in a stratified fluid; convection from isolated sources; convection in layers; shear instabilities and turbulent gravity currents; mechanical mixing across density interfaces; external mixing processes in the oceans and atmosphere; stratified turbulent shear flows; transports in very stable conditions. A series of abstracts complete the report.
